Oi!, Arts and Crafts movement building in Eastern District, Hong Kong.
The former Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club headquarters stands as a Grade II historic building, featuring traditional Arts and Crafts architectural elements at 12 Oil Street.
The complex, constructed in 1908 under Governor Sir Frederick Lugard's administration, served as the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club headquarters until 1938, later becoming government quarters.
The building now operates as an art promotion center called Oi!, organizing exhibitions, forums, and community engagement activities through Y!, E!, and A! Projects.
Located in North Point, the facility includes multiple spaces for artistic activities, including Oi! Glassie, Oi! Garden, Oi! Lounge, and Oi! Deck, spanning over 3,000 square feet.
The structure represents one of the few remaining examples of early 20th-century Arts and Crafts architecture in Hong Kong, contrasting with surrounding modern skyscrapers.

Hong Kong hides many lesser-known sites beyond its skyscrapers and shopping centers. The city is home to 19th-century Buddhist temples such as Kwun Yum Temple in Hung Hom, traditional Chinese gardens like Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill covering 35,000 square meters, and historic mansions like King Yin Lei from 1937 with its red brick roofs and glazed tiles. The abandoned Hakka villages of Kuk Po near the Chinese border and heritage trails like Lung Yeuk Tau in Fanling reflect the region's rural history. The islands and natural areas reveal another aspect of the territory. Tap Mun Island hosts a small fishing community and a Buddhist monastery in the eastern waters. Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Sai Kung protects over 60 coral species and 120 fish species. Sha Lo Tung Valley in Tai Po is home to more than 500 butterfly species among abandoned rice paddies. These sites offer an alternative to urban life and allow visitors to discover Hong Kong's natural and cultural heritage.
